Abstract

Abstract:In this article, I investigate Korea's prudential environmental diplomacy with China regarding transboundary fine dust pollution from the perspective of Korea's disadvantageous position vis-à-vis China due to the ambiguity of pollution responsibilities and geopolitical constraints. Against this backdrop, Korea has tactically exercised prudential environmental diplomacy toward China in dual tracks. First, it has taken a "high-profile" stance in engaging with and socializing China into bilateral and multilateral frameworks and endeavors to align its environmental interests with those of China via scientific and technological cooperation. Second, Korea has undertaken a cautious procedure and is not pressuring China by pursuing legal-binding approaches immediately. I see a "mixed success" of Korea's environmental engagement with China and appraise Korea's policy flexibility and pragmatism.

跨境微细颗粒物合作:韩国审慎的对华环境外交及其政策效果再认识

摘要：在本文中，我从韩国由于污染责任的模糊性和地缘政治限制而对中国处于不利地位的角度，考察了韩国在跨界细尘污染问题上与中国的审慎环境外交。在这种背景下，韩国在策略上对中国采取了谨慎的双轨环境外交。首先，它采取了“高调”的立场，与中国接触并将其融入双边和多边框架，并努力通过科技合作使其环境利益与中国的环境利益相一致。其次，韩国采取了谨慎的程序，并没有立即采取具有法律约束力的方式向中国施压。我认为韩国与中国的环保合作“喜忧参半”，并评价韩国的政策灵活性和务实性。
